During the holidays we had a family night. We went out to eat (a treat for us) and then came back home to watch a movie. It was after Christmas and no one felt like watching a holiday movie (we tried for Die Hard<\/a> but the kids wouldn’t go for it). My husband and I settled on “The Nutty Professor<\/a>“, imagine our chagrin when no one knew who he was? When the movie started our 18 yo said, “I thought he was a rock and roller?” No, that’s Jerry LEE Lewis<\/a> . . .<\/p>\n

I take full responsibility. It isn’t as if they don’t watch other “old” movies. They know John Wayne (Big Jake<\/a>), The Twilight Zone<\/a> (time, time enough to read), and The Andy Griffith Show<\/a> (they have decided Clara is a menace).<\/p>\n

How do you decide which old things need to be passed on? I’ve made the mistake of thinking my kids will just somehow absorb what I know. But frankly, there’s a lot to absorb! And in the meantime, they are introducing me to what is current for them. Lady Gaga<\/a>, Marvel movies<\/a>, Katy Perry<\/a>, and Good Luck, Charlie<\/a> to name a few.<\/p>\n

Oh well, I think somehow it all evens out. At least they know who Jerry Lewis is now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
